This board can be depresssing sometimes, makes me want to take a break. Every other day accomplished fish keepers have major mishaps and deaths..... Here is a product I'm buying, might help with power failures and the like....

I had an algae bloom in my pool. I have had goldfish in there for the last four years. They were on their sixth generation and I still had some of my originals. I had many fantails and butterfly's that were pushing eleven inches. They would alway come to the edge of the pool to beg for food. I treated the algae with fish safe algaecide but there was too much algae this time. As the algae died, it sucked all of the oxygen out of the water. Two days after the treatment, they were all dead. My bull leopard frog is the only survivor. He weighs 1.9 lb.
He is a giant as far as Florida frogs go. A 1/4 pound frog here is pretty big. He had a good diet of baby gold fish and water bugs.
